Standard 10/22 vs 10/22 Tactical

[-Doug-]

Hey all,

So as we all know ruger offers many variations of the 10/22 for different prices. What I want to ask is if you think the $550ish Tactical 10/22 is worth getting over the standard $250ish 10/22.

If you think getting the tactical is worth the extra money tell me why?

Side note: I was originally planning on getting the cheapest 10/22 and upgrading it however it might be cheaper to start off with the tactical because all I would really change is the stock (and on second thought I might just keep it on).

I bought the "tactical" model. I do like it and IMO the barrel is much more accurate. If I were to do it again though I would take the same money and buy the DAR 22 from Dlask over the stock tactical. I think the tactical is still a nice upgrade over that standard. Is it worth the extra $? I guess it depends on the upgrades you have planned. I do like the accuracy, trigger, stock and bipod over teh standard model.

I built a DAR22.... After having this, I wouldn't waste my money on the VLEH model from Ruger. The receiver is way nicer (comes WITH the cleaning hole) and the barrel is much more accurate. AND it comes threaded for goodies

The only upgrades I had plans on doing with the standard 10/22 would be

-new stock
-bipod
-red dot or scope

Unless having a bull barrel and change in trigger pull and whatever else the tactical ruger has is significantly better.

i love my VLEH and ive also done a couple builds using dlask parts. if i was to do it all over again i would have skipped over the VLEH. not saying it isnt a great shooter but i just love the dlask recievers and well pretty much everything joe makes is top notch.

taking into account your ideas of what youd like to do to with a 10/22 you may just want to grab a regular 10/22 for $239 or if you can find one used even better. you can purchase any stock youd like but if you want to model it after a vleh or dar then a $90 hogue stock, $45 dollar bipod and what ever optic suits your budget and your needs. you can always grab a dlask barrel anytime at a later date still putting you at the same price of either the vleh or dar but spaced out as your budget allows. where as if you jump right into the vleh you spent the money and still dont have quite the quality barrel as a dlask. just my 2 cents.
